The interest rates that have been rising continuously for 3 months have become even more. Now it has reached 7.8 percent on debt. In April this rate was 6.4 percent. Almost all the banks in the country are giving home loans at this rate. The repo rate has increased by 1.40% since April. Since then the debt has become expensive. Bank officials say that the effect of RBI's decision was visible immediately. Two banks made loans expensive late at night.
Banks will decide on this in their Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) meeting. Due to this, customers will have to pay more installments than the next month. After the decision of RBI, the interest rate reached the level of August 2019. The next meeting of RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will be held on September 28-30.
Analysts say rates will still go up at least twice this year. After that, a decision can be taken considering the level of inflation. Governor Shaktikanta Das said that the events in Taiwan will have no effect. Taiwan's contribution to India's total trade is only 0.7 percent.
Now up to 7.5% interest can be earned on deposits

The interest on short-term deposits has increased by 1.4% in the last 3 months. In such a situation, it can increase by 0.50% to 1 percent in the coming 3-4 quarters. At present, interest is available up to 6.5%.

The monetary policy meeting projected 16.2 percent GDP growth in the first quarter. It could be 6.2 percent in the second quarter, 4.1 percent in the third quarter, and 4 percent in the fourth quarter. The GDP growth rate in the current financial year is likely to be 7.2 percent. The inflation rate may be 7.1 percent in the second quarter, 6.4 in the third quarter, and 5.8% in the fourth quarter. The inflation rate for the full year is expected to be 6.7%.

When does the repo rate increase and decrease?
When inflation rises, the rate is raised to reduce money in the economy. Due to the cost of loans, people reduce their expenses. This reduces inflation.
